Fiction
Writing teaches writing. Exploring such elements of story telling as structure and plot, character, place, the importance of detail, voice, point of view and editing, this course will offer intensive writing workshops designed to generate creative energy. Ink will flow. We shall aim to gain insight into the art of writing fiction, and to produce, and share, exciting work during the three-week course.
